RNA viruses are capable of undergoing extremely rapid evolution due to their high rates of reproduction, small genome size, and a high frequency of spontaneous mutagenesis. Here we demonstrate that a virus-like, evolutionary state can be created by propagating a phagemid population in a hypermutator

A direct spectrophotometric pH indicator method has been devised to assay the activity of the D-Ala carboxypeptidase/transpeptidase of Streptomyces R61, and which should be of general application to D-Ala carboxypeptidases. The substrate employed is N,N'diacetyl-r.lysyl-D-alanyl-D-lactate. The metho

Bacterial resistance to ␤-lactam antibiotics, a clinically worrying and recurrent problem, is often due to the production of ␤-lactamases, enzymes that efficiently hydrolyze the amide bond of the ␤-lactam nucleus. Imipenem and other carbapenems escape the activity of most active site serine ␤-lactam

The toxic effects of 2,4-dichlorophenol on two strains of Escherichia coli harbouring plasmids with p-lactamase activity were studied. The toxicant had a significant effect on growth at concentrations of 12 p g mi-' for the JA 221 (pBR322) strain, as well as at 24 pg rnl-' for the 55-3 (RP4) strain.
